I have no diagnosis of ocd, or any other disorder. However, I can relate to the topic at hand. I am struggling with an anxiety to prospect on the phone for my business. I get butterflies in person but not blocked from action. I also realize it's not an isolated apprehension, im aware and also sure I'm unaware of other places it could be effecting my quality of life. It's a feeling, and not thoughts at least not conscious. Regardless of slapping myself n the face, pumping myself up, I struggle to get minimal calls done. Then avoid avoid avoid, then self loathe, all while the bank account grows smaller by the day, which has no effect on my ability to plow through. Any advice, thoughts, or insight? I've done about every technique there is, except go to a witch doctor. Lol
Another good one! My question is that I have strong physical symptoms that I know are just anxiety but I focus on them 24/7. It's like I could crawl out of my own skin and cant relax in my body. I take meds to no avail. Any advice?
Hey there. Many of us suffer from this. By accepting your current condition you will stop focusing on the symptoms. You know that the symptoms are there, but you don’t give them any importance. Focus more on real life stuff, it helps. Good luck!
If you're waiting around for relief so that you can start living your life, anxiety symptoms will remain locked on. It's essential to keep going about your day, doing the things that you want to do even with those symptoms. That will help you 1) focus on something other than your symptoms 2) understand that you can still achieve a lot despite the symptoms 3) release the inner control you are currently exerting on your body.

I know exactly what that feels like. I had it bad out of nowhere. All I wanted to was escape. Leave my body somehow. Then I just said everytime I feel this skin crawling anxiety I will sit with it and not give in. And after a week. A very hard week. All of a sudden it's been a year and I haven't felt it. It's very very hard. But just sit with the feeling and say no as well as keep going on with your day
Hi i have a question...my ocd theme is schizophrenia..and my thoughts are always about getting it and i myself selfly imagine hallucination...and thus the intrusive image appears and it makes me fear that iam hallucinating...my eyes always search weather its true or not.... Eg i myself think there is spider and the image of spider appears and i fear iam hallucinating..
Watch videos/TedTalks of people who have schizophrenia to truly see that it's not as scary as we think it is. It's just our perception of it that makes it scary. If you are constantly looking for signs to confirm whether you have schiophrenia or not, it will fuel OCD. Work towards accepting the uncertainty that you may or may not have it and learn to not be afraid of it.
A lot of OCD sufferers feel that way due to constant stress and anxiety. It leads to mental, emotional and physical exhaustion because the body is in overdrive. Read At Last a Life by Paul David.

Another masterpiece. Merci!
Your a life saver

Can OCD make you feel hollow and apathetic?
